Thailand will promote No. 95 ethanol gasoline in 2007 as one of the important measures to reduce oil consumption

According to news from the Ministry of Energy of Thailand, the Thai government will officially deactivate No. 95 high-standard octane gasoline in early 2007 and replace it with No. 95 high-standard ethanol gasoline. This is an important measure for Thailand to adopt bio-energy and reduce oil consumption. one.
It is reported that Thailand is currently preparing to launch the No. 95 ethanol gasoline and the phasing of No. 95 octane gasoline in early 2007. The delay in the introduction of ethanol gasoline 95 was not due to technical reasons but due to insufficient ethanol production for the preparation of this blended fuel. According to reports, there are currently seven companies that have obtained ethanol production licenses issued by the Ministry of Energy. At least six of them can start production this year. The production capacity of the six companies this year is expected to reach 700,000 liters of ethanol per day.
It is understood that No. 95 ethanol gasoline is a mixed fuel of absolute ethanol and gasoline, in which the ethanol content is 10%. The use of ethanol gasoline as a motor vehicle fuel will not only affect the normal operation of the engine, but also reduce pollution and reduce the total amount of oil imported by Thailand.
Thailand has been promoting policies to reduce energy consumption in recent years and has launched a series of alternative energy solutions. At present, in various gas stations in Thailand, in addition to the normal specifications of octane gasoline and ethanol gasoline, there are biodiesel extracted from plants such as palm seed and cassava, which is very popular with consumers. Ethanol in ethanol gasoline is also manufactured from Thailand's surplus cassava, rice, sunflower and other agricultural products, and its cost is low.
